Forget the name, you don’t have to be a tennis player to get tennis elbow! Also known as lateral epicondylitis, this common overuse injury causes pain and tenderness on the outside of your elbow.
What’s the culprit? Repetitive motions that strain your forearm muscles – think gripping, twisting, and lifting.
Symptoms
- Pain on the outside of your elbow that can radiate down your forearm
- Pain and weakness when gripping
- Worsens with activity
